    On february 29 this year 2012 a new train superfast vivke express was started from west bengal to mangalore to make more outsiders come and settle in Karnataka ! This move has only let criminals from outside states like orissa and west bengal to Karnataka.. Whereas no interest is given to start trains from udupi district to bengaluru.. This is the ploy of the bus operators of dakshina kannada who want their buses to be filled with passengers so adequate trains are never put from udupi to bengaluru.on the other hand outsiders are freely flowing into karnataka.what a shame..!

    It is high time for the Government to take immediate measures to prevent circulation of counterfeit currency. Innocent people are put to lot of inconvenience/loss. Government should give 1-2 months time to deposit all 500 and 1000 rupees valid notes in bank accounts then withdraw these currencies and print new notes. It will be better for our economy to unearth black money as well.

    THIS IS THE ONLY PORTION LEFT OVER AFTER DISTRIBUTING IN THE MARKET AND SEEMS TRYING TO POUR BEFORE THE ELECTION TAKES PLACE IN KARNATAKA.
    POLICE DECLINED TO EXPOSE THE NAMES MEANS HI-FI PEOPLE ARE INVOLVED IN IT AND WANT TO GIVE TO LOKAYUKTA POLICE.

    It is a known fact that Indian currency is openly printed in Pakistan , and the same is routed through Bangladesh or UAE to India . Our 'peaceful' neighbours contribute a lot to destroy our economy.
    The customs should also look for currency smuggled via Dubai to India , this can be easily done by looking at the profile of travellers.A necessary evil , to save the country.

    I don't, blame politician and officer. i want to blame here our law.
    Our law should be like this: May be best thing to stop remove their eyes and give it to good blind people. Then people will think hundred times before doing bad things. Otherwise our Indian crime will never change.
    At least we can give life to from bad to good.

    Accusing this government or that doesn't make sense. When somebody else was on the seat they too did something wrong which everybody knows. Our borders so wast and porus and may be the laxity of Vigilant agencies might have been unable to contain the influx of outsiders. Even in a greate nation called America the same problem persist. Don't be baiised.

    one senior lawyer once told, that to curb the issue of Black money and counterfeit, it is best advisable to ban 1000/- and 500/- , the reason is the volume and space required to keep money goes up, and also the economic impact is lesser than that of a 1000/- fake getting its way into RBI for exchange.

    Hi,
    Here I refer to Fais' comments.
    Fais while I appreciate your concern, limiting the currency denomination to Rs. 100/- is not the solution.
    If you would observe by killing the Rs. 500/- and Rs. 1,000/- notes (by counterfeiting them) the enemy is killing our economy by making dealings difficult to make.
    This as they (the enemy) would want all to be scared of the bigger denominations and stick to smaller denominations which will be a nightmare for a growing Economy as ours.
    Instead, the Govt. should come out with notes that are more difficult to counterfeit like the ones of Malaysia etc. which have a tinge of plastic involved in it.
    By this not only the notes are safe they also give a longer life to the notes.
    I vaguely remember reading / hearing that the Govt is in the midst of this exercise in a BIG way.
    Kind Regards
    Aladdin Pais

    There must be a strict unbailable law for such cases as it is damaging our economy. Indian must stop printing 500&1000 rupees notes and must be limited to Rs 100 note as it decreases the currency value.
